CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Cheektowaga family had their hearts broken after their dog, “Pug,” was mauled to death by their neighbor’s four dogs on Sunday, according to Pug’s owner, Sarah Kegler.
Pug sustained broken ribs, punctured lungs, ruptured intestines and a broken jaw and eventually died that evening.
Kegler says this all happened in front of her own children who were playing in the backyard with Pug and it was brought to her attention when they began screaming.
Kegler’s neighbor jumped the fence to help stop the attack and was also bit by the attacking dogs and immediately went to ECMC to be treated. This is the second time since 2015, that the same four dogs have broken into the Kegler’s yard.
The family has since had a petition signed by over 30 neighbors to have the dogs removed.
